Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

And the fact that Russia have to buy sub-par munition from North Korea says a lot on their ready to use stock. Russia is hurting badly in this war militarily, they just don't tell anyone about it.
Yes, it's very telling that China still refused to sell any military equipment to Russia contrary to Iran and North Korea who are the only 2 countries to have provided military sales to Russia. Seems even the Chinese are against Putins blatant unprovoked military invasion of a sovereign country like Ukraine. Have to commend the Chinese for this at least.
 
Russians keep throwing cannon fodders in Bakhmut waves after waves....

On the first clip of tweet with the guy criticizing the "lack of learning" and still moving lone tanks in open fields has been the major criticism for a long time. Problem is many don't realize that much of the terrain in eastern Ukraine is largely open fields just like that. I heard something like 70% or about. If they're carrying operations in those areas, they have to choose using the brushes as close cover where they've been heavily mined or easily ambushed by hiding infantry with ATGMs.

Also this time of year is very similar to what the Germans went through with Operation Barbarossa and starting at an interesting time of year as when the fall breaks, there are frequent freeze & thaws which causes nothing but mud slush for all those heavy tanks and support vehicles to simple sink into the created roads. Many of those are certainly not paved and solid lol. So in many cases, they really don't have much of a choice but to take the most dangerous path and hope to make it through.
 
  1. AFU seem to be on the move again near Svatovo
  2. First UK trained Ukrainian units are coming back
  3. UA is sending units from Kherson further east, with at least 1 going near Bakhmut
  4. RUAF relocated 1 brigade of new regulars east of Bakhmut
  5. RU 49th army seem to be turning into a sponge for reconstituted, and damaged units. Reports of some of its units being relocated as far back as Marioupol.
  6. It sems to me they are trying to reconstitute their reserve around the 49th army, or whatever of its units they sent back from the frontline.
